Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic luminous device which uses neither an external manual switch, said switch being replaced by an internal automatic switch which actuates the device only when the device is resting on a sufficiently-dense metal surface, nor a connection cable to an external power source, the latter being replaced by a preferably-rechargeable battery. The invention is intended to be used as en emergency light for police vehicles or as an auxiliary back-up light and is equipped with a base or casing (1) and a translucent screen (2) which are coupled to one another in order to form a single body. The base of the casing (1) is provided externally with two or more permanent magnets (3) which serve to block the movement of the casing (1) when the latter is disposed on a sufficiently-dense metal platform (4). In addition, the casing (1) is provided internally with an automatic activation switch (5) which is solidly connected to a connector (6) by means of a flange (16) which is, in turn, solidly connected to a pin (7). Moreover, standard wiring means are used to connect one such connector (6) to a rechargeable battery (8), an external auxiliary connector (9) and the charge (10) which is perfectly insulated from the rest of the elements forming the device by means of any type of separator element.
Description
AUTOMATIC MOBILE LUMINOUS DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
As its name indicates, it is a luminous device which, having all the elements necessary for its proper working, it is novel in that an external manual switch is not required for it to operate. The said switch is replaced by an internal automatic one, which implies that the device only switches on when resting on a sufficiently dense metal surface. In addition, there is no need for the use of a connecting cable to an external power supply as this is replaced by a battery, preferably rechargeable.
The device is conceived as an emergency light for police vehicles, and a back-up light in the event of possible breakdowns, accidents and any other emergency situation calling for the use of a device of this kind, without the typical inconveniences of this type of device, related to the use of cables and manual switches.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
The use of mobile luminous devices by different police forces and public services in general is widely known in the state of the technique. Mobile luminous emergency devices do exist, some in the shape of a jumper wire with several lights or elements, and others fitted with just one light. Some have a fixed source of light, to which a rotating reflecting shade is added, and others work with flares produced by a stroboscopic lamp, or flash. However, all the devices share a common characteristic, and that is they all need to be connected by cable to an external power supply; in addition, in all cases, they require a manual switch for their activation, or the actual connection plug acts as a switch.

Mobile luminous emergency devices do exist, some in the shape of a jumper wire with several lights or elements, and others fitted with just one light. Some have a fixed source of light, to which a rotating reflecting shade is added, and others work with flares produced by a stroboscopic lamp, or flash. However, all the devices share a common characteristic, and that is they all need to be connected by cable to an external power supply; in addition, in all cases, they require a manual switch for their activation, or the actual connection plug acts as a switch.
Mobile devices are normally designed for providing a camouflaged police vehicle with an element which is indispensable for revealing its presence and being seen by other drivers. Similarly, certain machines, cranes, or industrial vehicles use this type of device in special circumstances, normally to alert users to the presence of elements or obstacles on the road, as a safety complement to the workers themselves.
In the case of the police vehicles, the mobile luminous device must be preferably placed on the left side of the roof of the vehicle, as this allows the emergency vehicle to be clearly seen by the drivers in front of them. The fact that these devices need to be connected to a power supply, in this case, the housing of the car lighter, implies that the cable must pass in front of the driver's arms, objectively hindering the movements of the same, distracting the attention that should be focussed on driving, at moments when he or she should be paying the greatest attention. Another of the drawbacks of these devices is that the vehicle's occupant must take care to ensure that the device does not become disconnected from the power supply due to the sudden swinging movement of the vehicle as a consequence of potholes or bends, or the accidental rubbing of the driver's arms against the connecting cable. Moreover, the fact that a cable passes through the car's interior implies that the window must remain open, resulting in noises and vibrations that impede communication between the driver and occupant, and with other colleagues via the intercommunicator. These inconveniences are further aggravated when the driver of the car must leave the vehicle, as the connecting cable will always hinder his movements for opening the door, possibly causing bodily harm or even accidentally leading to the destruction of the device.
Another of the inconveniences of these devices is the room they take up in the vehicle, as the aim is to conceal a device that reveals the use to which the vehicle is put, and which is normally made up of a large-sized casing, and its wiring, which is usually quite long and difficult to roll up.

There are no known wireless mobile luminous devices or such that are activated automatically.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The device which is the object of the present invention offers important developments with respect to the devices currently in use, as, on the one hand, they definitively eliminate the use of a connecting cable to a power supply and all the problems deriving from the same, and, on the other, they start operating by means of an automatically activated switch only when they are placed on a suitable surface, in this case, a metal one, automatically deactivating when removed from the same.
The device is made up of a casing fitted with several magnets, combined or not with back-up suction pads, for fixing the device to a metal base. An automatic connection and disconnection switch is internally incorporated in the base. This switch is made up of a cylinder containing a third magnet which runs vertically like a piston, equipped with an axle, and fastened to an internal base by a coil spring, which allows limited movement of the said magnet when it is placed near a sufficiently dense metal surface. Either on its upper end or on its side, the cylinder has the necessary terminals or elements to close an electrical circuit when the magnet is activated by the force of attraction towards the aforementioned metal surface, giving way to the current of the power supply source, in this case, a rechargeable battery inside the casing itself, triggering the charge, made up of an electric rotor combined with a light and a reflective shade, or of either a strobe-like or flash-like source of light.
The device likewise includes a suitable external connector, by means of which, with the aid of a back-up cable fitted with a charger, it can be powered via the corresponding external electric energy supply, in order to guarantee the working of the device in the event of discharge of its internal battery and to recharge the same when it is flat.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The said figures iIlustrate how the AUTOMATIC MOBILE LUMINOUS
DEVICE, which is the object of the present invention, is made from a casing (1), to which a translucent screen is fastened by means of a thread or screws (2).
The base of the casing (1) is fitted on the outside with several anchoring magnets (3), to keep the said casing in place when it is laid on a sufficiently dense metal platform (4). The said casing (1) is fitted on its inside, preferably in its centre of gravity, with an automatically activated switch (5), a conventional connector (6) fitted with an activation pin (7), a rechargeable battery (8), and an external back-up connector (9), apart from the charge (10), which can be an element combining rotation and light, or simply a strobe-type luminous one; all of which is interconnected with the corresponding wiring, making sure that the charge (10) is perfectly insulated from the rest of the mechanisms that make up the device.
The automatic activation switch (5) is made up of a cylinder (13) in the shape of an inverted cup, inside which is a cylindrical permanent magnet (11) acting as a piston, fitted with an axle (12) that emerges from the centre of gravity in the flat upper side, crosses a hollow undercut (17) created for the purpose on the base of the cylinder (13), and ends up welded to an inverted cylindrical cup (14), that externally envelops the cylinder (13). The said cylindrical cup (14) is fitted with a flange (16) which is solidly connected to the pin (7) of the conventional connector (6). A coil spring is placed (15) between both cylinders (13) (14), in order to keep the permanent magnet (11) raised, when sufficient force of attraction is not exerted on the head of the said permanent magnet (11).
The tolerance limit of the permanent magnet (11), the axle (12), the undercut (17), and the cylinders (13) (14) is enough to ensure, all the parts being coupled 5 together, the free swaying movement of the unit made up by the permanent magnet (11), axle (12) and cylinder (14). Nevertheless, the said movement is limited by the existence of several stops (18) (19), solidly connected to each other, emerging from the external cavity of the cylinder (13) and the internal cavity of the cylinder (14).
Consequently, the device works as follows: when the device manually couples by means of its casing (1) with a sufficiently dense metal platform (4), the former is fastened to the said surface by means of its magnets (3); in a parallel fashion, this gives rise to the automatic movement of the permanent magnet (11) which, overcoming the resistance of the coil spring (15), with its downward movement, will drag the external cylinder (14), thus activating the connector (6) as a result of the thrust of the flange (11), causing the electrical circuit to close, and, consequently, activating the charge (10), then powered by the battery (8). When the device is removed from the metal platform (4), the permanent magnet (11) will be freed from the attraction energy of the said metal platform (4), the opposite movement being caused by the coil spring (15), until the stops (18) (19) restrict its rise. In the course of the vertical upward movement, the connector (6) will be disconnected, thus opening the electrical circuit, deactivating the powering of the charge (10), and, as a result, the device will be disconnected.
The device is likewise fitted with an external back-up connector (9) for recharging the battery (8) when the latter no longer has enough energy to activate the charge (10), it being possible for the said charge to be made irrespective of whether the device is activated or deactivated, to allow the powering of the charge (10) when the use of the back-up cable is indispensable as a consequence of the lack of energy in the battery (8).
